Word of the year

Throughout 2016, I focused on the word light to drive my goals, actions, and mindset. It worked for everything (except the way I packed for trips)! Some big changes in circumstance helped me approach the days with a lighter sense of self as I worked hard to make it happen. In 2017, my guiding word is reach. I’m not shooting for the stars, I’m aiming toward Andromeda. I will stretch and flex past the self-imposed and societally-mandated boundaries I created and maintained out of fear. My horizons will grow, closing in on what feels like far-off distances. I will extend what I believe I’m capable of — without overextending myself.
